Remedy code: 3-633.27.03
A two-year-old boy, he is almost constantly congested throughout the year, with large green runny noses, day and night. Sometimes not, and then two months again. He sleeps well, is not otherwise ill, and sometimes coughs. Initially, he occasionally had ear pain and had a few illnesses. He has a lot of earwax, 'there's everything in his ear,' the parents explain because he often puts his finger in his ear. He often has inflamed eyes when something is going around, such as a cold. Soup eyes with crusts. Father also had it as a child, with lots of runny noses and sneezing. He is the eldest child, the previous pregnancy did not grow and resulted in a curettage. This pregnancy was easy, with back problems towards the end, and difficulty sitting. The tension was: how will it go and such?
The delivery was slow, a day-long contractions, so at the end of the day at the hospital, there was a heart disorder in the first week, and the child remained in the incubator for a week.
Otherwise, everything is going well, he is a big child, can drink eagerly, and cannot sit still: with difficulty for one minute. He is not hyperactive, but always busy. Doesn't want to watch TV, but asks for attention, he doesn't like to play alone.
He sleeps lightly and restlessly, awake from every little sound, you can hear him banging for the first two hours.
Eats well, and prefers meat. He had a runny ear a few times, the parents did nothing, later once nasal spray and paracetamol. The parents have a nursery where they both work hard.
He knows what he wants, is impatient, and can be temperamental with throwing and kicking.
AnalysisResistance is generally good, so there are no indications for Class 6. Heart and nose indicate heart energy, but there are no further Rosaceae indications.
Review rubrics in search of a medicine that fits the 'picture,' the story, or the themes. Rubric nose, discharge copious, here are a few possibilities you can compare and consider: Arum triphylinum, because of the chronic (6 33 11.04), Copaïva, because of the abundant mucus (6 44 55.11), and Lemna minor, because of the nose and mucus (6 32.11.01). Comparing various medicine guides to verbalize what you see and hear, is often not concrete during the consultation. You must then refer back to 'the story'; often enough, you suddenly recognize the pattern of characteristics present afterward.
There are not enough phase 1 confirmations, and although these medicines clinically fit, the theme of the boy and the family, his environment, is not recognizable. Therefore, search in various other rubrics. The rubric 'ear boring' mentions Arundo donax. Here, I realized the theme of the grasses, the Poales: the parents have a close family life, family business, and everything revolves around the family, this fits 6 33. The uncertainty during pregnancy fits phase 2 or stage 2. The placement of the Chloridoïdeae at stage 7 can fit with the interrupted pregnancy before him or his heart disorder. The doubt points to an early stage, 3-5. stage 3 fits the doubt during pregnancy, the delivery and the slimy as in Lanthanum, also stage 3.
Often in a case of a young child, you have to look at the pregnancy and the delivery, both reflecting the energy of the child and the circumstances that build up or indicate the theme.
Prescription: Arundo donax C200
Follow-upIn the first four weeks, he had no problems at all; the parents couldn't believe it! In the first days, the snot turned from green to transparent and then disappeared. He was cheerful and slept well. The eyes were clean. After these weeks, sometimes runny noses again, but less and thinner, now it's quickly over. A few pimples appear on the cheek. After a busy day, you have to calm him down, otherwise, he sleeps restlessly, and he clearly has more energy.
The parents are confident, they let the child do his thing, but within strict boundaries. The child remains healthy in the coming years.
